DETONATING TOY Filed Jan. 11. 195o ATTORNEY Patented May 20, 1930 PATEN@ oFFicE i HARRY MORRIS, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA DETONATING 'roY Y Application mea January 11, 1930. semi No. 420,221.

This invention relates to a detonating toy, the general object of the invention being to provide a handle Vformed of a` pair of resilient parts, wit-h means for causing the free ends of said members to move toward each otherwhen the device is .struck against an object and means for exploding a cap or the like when such action takes place.

Thisinvention also consistsin certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illust-rated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout lthe several views, and in which Figure l is an elevation of the device, with parts in section.

Figure 2 is a section on line QQ of Figure l.

Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view through the outer portion of the device, showing the parts in exploding position.

Figure 4l is a face view of the hammer.

Figure 5 is a View of one of the disks.

In this drawing, the numeral l indicates a pair of resilient members and 2 indicates a strip placed between the members at one end of the device, the two members and thestripl being connected together.V by the screws A back 8, formed of fabric, suchas chamois,

is fastened to a block 9 and each block is fastened to the outer end of a member Vl. Each i back contains'material 10, such as wool.

of the backs to strike an object, the free ends of the members l will be moved toward each other so that the hammer, formed by the strip 6, will cause the member 7 to forcibly strike the cap and thus explode the same.` Then another cap can be put in placeandV this cap exploded in the same manner.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is y l. A device of the class described comprising a pair of handle members supported in spaced relation and formed of resilient material, avstriker plate carried by one member,

plate and weight forming members attached to the handle members for causing the ham-V mer to explode a cap placed between the same and the striker plate when one of the weight members is brought against an object.

2. A device of the class described comprising arpair of handle members supported in spaced relation and formed of resilient maferial, a striker plate carried by one member, ahammer member attached to said member and having a part extending over the striker plate and weight forming members attached to the handle members for causing the hammer. to explode a capr placed between the same and thestriker platewhen one of the weight members is broughtv against an object, such weightV members each consisting cfa back of flexible material having a filling therein.`

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
